There’s an old saying, “Change is the only constant.” That’s especially true in tech partnerships. Vendors merge, shift priorities, and before long the partner you trusted is looking out for themselves more than for you.
When that happens, your IT and security telemetry — the stuff that keeps your business running — can get stuck. Tools that once seemed open start adding fees. Contracts tighten. Integrations you counted on suddenly come with strings attached. What looked like a healthy multi-vendor ecosystem ends up feeling like lock-in.
Cribl takes a different path.
We don’t play favorites with sources or destinations. We don’t push you toward one vendor or one tool. We just make sure your telemetry can move wherever you need it to go, whether that’s into a SIEM, a data lake, or the next new AI system. From legacy gear to modern platforms, our only goal is to help you get your data from anywhere to anywhere. This is the core of what choice and control really mean to engineers and admins.
Why does this matter? Because your data is worth more when you’re free to use it wherever it creates value for you. Every time a team shares telemetry it compounds in value. The moment a provider says, “you can only send it here” or “you’ll pay extra to move it there,” they’ve stopped being your partner. They’ve become a gatekeeper.
Cribl exists to cut out the gatekeepers. You decide where your data goes, not us. That freedom saves money, reduces risk, and puts control back in your hands.
If change really is the only constant, then the only partner you can trust is the one that never limits your choices. That’s why customers choose Cribl.
Change is the only constant
In tech, one thing never changes: vendors eventually look out for themselves. AKA the platform strategy.
Partnerships shift. Contracts tighten. Fees creep up. What started as open suddenly feels like lock-in.
That’s a problem when the data at stake is your IT and security telemetry — the lifeblood of your business.
Cribl takes a different approach.
We don’t play favorites. We don’t push you toward one tool or one cloud. We just help you move your data from anywhere to anywhere — SIEMs, data lakes, AI platforms, legacy systems, you name it.
Because the moment a provider says:
👉 “You can only send it here.”
👉 “You’ll pay extra to move it there.”
They have stopped being your partner. They’ve become a gatekeeper.
Cribl exists to eliminate the gatekeepers. You stay in control. Your costs stay under control. And your data always flows where it creates the most value.
In a world that always changes, trust the partner that never limits your choices.
